☆ The ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is rapidly melting. Scientists now have evidence for when it started and why

They have discovered it started retreating rapidly in the 1940s, according to a new study that provides an alarming insight into future melting. The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is the world’s widest and roughly the size of Florida. “Once an ice sheet retreat is set in motion it can continue for decades, even if what started it gets no worse,” he told CNN. While similar retreats have happened much further back in the past, the ice sheet recovered and regrew, Smith said. “Further events arising more from the warming climate trend took things further, and started the widespread retreat we’re seeing today,” he told CNN.

☆ There's another missing submersible: A $3.6 million vessel mysteriously disappeared near Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier'

The submersible was exploring the Thwaites Glacier to study its potential effects on sea-level rise. Ran's disappearance is a tragic loss for climate change research as scientists were using the autonomous machine to study the melting activity of Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier." AdvertisementThat's why Wåhlin and her team chose Ran to check out Thwaites Glacier because it's actively melting. The Thwaites Glacier is one of the largest in the world and could raise global sea levels significantly if it collapses entirely.
